#CardanoDebate Cardano (ADA) is a decentralized third-generation blockchain platform, designed to be a more scalable, secure, and efficient alternative to existing cryptocurrencies.
Founded by Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum, it stands out for its scientific approach and development based on peer-reviewed research.
Its blockchain uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, designed to be energy-efficient and secure the network.
Cardano aims to provide a robust infrastructure for dApps, smart contracts, and other innovations, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and governance through its treasury. Its long-term goal is to be a global platform for financial and social applications, overcoming the scalability challenges of its predecessors.
